Wayward Son (Simon Snow Trilogy, 2)

THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL
TO THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER CARRY ON

Simon Snow is back and he's coming to America!

The story is supposed to be over.

Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after...

So why can't Simon Snow get off the couch?

What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light.

That's how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place.

With Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell has written a book for everyone who ever wondered what happened to the Chosen One after he saved the day. And a book for everyone who was ever more curious about the second kiss than the first. It's another helping of sour cherry scones with an absolutely decadent amount of butter.

Come on, Simon Snow. Your hero's journey might be over - but your life has just begun.

The story was rather rambly and for the first half of the book I had no idea what the actual plot was. Though that seems to be normal for this series. Regardless of that, I enjoyed it from start to finish. It's fun, I adore Baz, and will listen to him complain about the midwest any time.

This sequel breaks away from the “Harry Potter” feels as our trio of magicians drive across America. I loved this one even more than the first book, though I grew to dislike Penny a lot more in this book when I liked her in the first. The magic lore Rainbow Rowell creates is as always interesting and unique. Looking forward to wrapping up this trilogy!
